AI Feature Lead

Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the “12 Angry Seniors.” Their mission continues to guide everything we do.Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue.

Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen—not dilute—our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.The JobAs an AI Feature Lead, you will serve as the strategic driver behind SCAN’s agentic AI platform, translating vision into actionable outcomes.
